IIS 7 URL Rewrite Rule using query string variable

Question

Trying to create a URL Rewrite rule for IIS 7.5 to read the query string parameter and redirect requests to a new URL structure - for example:

http://www.example.com/people/profile.aspx?dw

to a new more SEO friendly URL at:

http://www.example.com/our-people/profiles/dw

Any good examples or guidance?

Answer 1

You'll want to make sure you have the Microsoft URL Rewrite Module installed, and create a rule template as covered step-by-step here:

IIS.net - User Friendly URL - rule template

The other way to do this is edit your web.config file, as covered here (substituting your URL's under "The lines to modify...").
